For ~ Poets United Midweek Motif ~ Year's End ~ Writing is Best for Survival ~




Dear  Friends, evening draws near, birds fly home to  safe nests
another sunrise awaits, has humanity passed all trials and tests?  

Last sunset or first sunrise, every year ends.This day too shall pass.
 Schools will open, traffic will move, children will go to their class.

Year's end or a new beginning, wars continue, never ending killing,
if  wisdom  prevails, instead of bombing, there will be  friendly singing.

year ends , on days of miracles, celebration blessings and forgiving
fruit cakes, puddings, gifts, presents,family meetings and bells ringing,

each year has time,temperature and turmoil
this too had suspense, stormy  surprises
ambushes attacks  armed  protests
beauty  behind barricades
ecosystem changes
environmental disasters
joyful achievements and losses
lockouts lock downs
curfews
shootings in holy places
In all poets and writers , read  recited
wrote for peace joy and stood united

New time will bring good tidings 
Hope is always there.

Change and endings (and beginnings, too) are indeed tumultuous. But like the ending of this piece suggest, there is always hope. I hold on to that--the hope, and the celebration that might come.

Ending and beginnings go side by side and we can't stop any of the two. A good go.
